Most Ridiculous Answers to Essays
Jenna:
I found an old Biology test of mine when I was cleaning out some clutter a while ago. And I quote:
"You come across two lions fighting for control of a territory. One is clearly larger than the other, but sports a limp. The other is smaller and younger, but more agile. What do believe the outcome would be?"
My answer: "You wouldn't live long enough to find out."
SenkoTwiik:
Hahaha, Jenna that was funny.
Maybe some of these answers will help show teachers not to ask such stupid questions on tests.

Speaking of old school amswers... I was a lil PO'd at my American lit professor in college. He'd teach but then when he had an exam I quickly learned he liked only answers that were in total agreement with his own (like he knew Faulkner and Hemingway personally 1pfft). I got mad because on the exam he'd alway ask a "what is your opinion of (whatever character or act we were reading)?" question but then subtract points if he didnt agree. 1wtf
So on his last exam he added an extra credit (what is your opinion of...?) question, so I wrote:
"Well you asked for my opinion so here it is: " --> (wrote mine here) "But since you usually prefer your own..:"--->(wrote his) He wasn't amused. 3thumb

GO YOU for stickin it to the man!!!
I did something similar in 10th grade, we had to read a poem about the "hardships" of some man, I think he was meant to be "representing" something (not like it matters now). The questions were something like this:
5. Do you feel sorry for [insert characters name here]? Explain?
I wrote: No because I have had to learn about this since I was 6 years old and I'm getting sick of all this propaganda you are force-feeding to us you condescending cow.
6. What metaphors has the poet used to make you feel sorry for [insert character here]? Explain their effect on you?
I wrote: Hmmm this is a pretty closed ended question now isnt it Mrs [insert last name of teacher here]? I already told you I DONT feel sorry form him!!! NOW STOP TRYING TO FORCE ME TO FEEL SORRY FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU DO!!!
I had argued so many times before that with her on that subject. I almost made her cry once because no student had ever challenged her ideals before. I can see why she didnt like me but I wasnt willing to drop my beleifs just for a few good marks. And incase anyone is wondering I never got my marks back (she went on maternity leave) :( I would have loved to see what she would have written about my answers
DaSpecial1:
I totally agree with you SF. I say don't ask me a "what is your opinion on this" kind of question if you don't really want MY opinion. It's absolutely absurd! How can you get your own opinion wrong? Meh, nutty professors... 1club
